Testo The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis
Testo della canzone The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (Genesis), tratta dall'album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
Early morning Manhattan
Ocean winds blow on the land
Movie Palace is now undone
The all-night watchmen have had their fun
Sleepin' cheaply on the midnight show
It's the same old ending, time to go
Get out!
It seems they cannot leave their dream
There's something moving in the sidewalk steam
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
Nighttime's flyers feel their pains
Drugstore take down the chains
Metal motion comes in bursts
The gas station can quench that thirst
Suspension cracked on unmade road
The trucker's eyes read "Overload"
And out on the subway
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
Exits into daylight, spraygun hid
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
The lamb seems right out of place
The Broadway street scene
Finds a focus in its face
Somehow it's lying there
Brings a stillness to the air
Though man-made light
At night is very bright
There's no whitewash victim
As the neons dim to the coat of white
Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid
Wipes his gun, he's forgotten what he did
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
Suzanne tired her work all done
Thinks money honey be on neon
Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn
And the sawdust king spits out his scorn
"Wonder women you can draw your blind
Don't look at me, I'm not your kind
I'm Rael!"
Something inside me has just begun
Lord knows what I have done
And the lamb lies down on Broadway
On Broadway, on Broadway (they say the lights are always bright)
On Broadway, on Broadway (they say there's always magic in the air)
On Broadway, on Broadway (they say the lights are always bright)
On Broadway, on Broadway
